I would like to officially nominate for the AAF PTL position. --- A little about myself, and why I would like to accept the position of PTL for AAF --- I’ve been with AT&T for more than 20 years, during which I architected and create many solutions including highly scalable Middleware Frameworks. CADI was a Framework I created to enable clients to utilize multiple Authentications and different Authorizations. AAF was conceived as an authorization module from another AT&T system put into a RESTful interface. Under my leadership, we refined the concept to the product it is to, also converting it to Cassandra, and a highly efficient, scalable access model. I’ve been primary on AAF ever since. A few years ago, I looked to the future, and realized that it would be better have App-2-App be 2 way Certificate, but also realized there were problems associated with this. External ISP signing limited automation, and there was no clean way to tie the resulting Certificates to the Authorizations already known by User/Password. Further, not everyone is a security expert, and is not equipped to get the right X509 setup. I created, with our Security Organization’s blessing and help, a mechanism that ties in the authorizations to the Certificate with only microseconds spent on the transaction… by tying the process of authorization, and making it part of the Certificate itself. This method, when fully implemented by ONAP, will give both heightened speed and resiliency to Authentications. My experience in ONAP and Open source is being asked to bring over the Production grade AT&T AAF into ONAP, but not just bring the code in, but make AT&T’s libraries “ONAP First”. This work, which you all participated and helped us complete, was highly successful in a short time. We just need to help ONAP services work with it. Finally, I have already been involved with the ONAP TSC (consulting basis) where I’ve been attending all meetings. I am an active member of the ONAP Security Team, attending all meetings, and, I would like to say, am instrumental in providing path forward for ONAP Security in general. Finally, I have been educating the overall AAF Team on our weekly meetings. In short, I believe I have the expertise, not only as the originator and main creator of these technologies, but I believe I have shown adaptability to learn the ONAP Processes and Goals quickly, and at the same time, worked to help the AAF sub-team grow. I would appreciate your vote for PTL of AAF, and hope to bring this project into as solid a component for ONAP as it is for AT&T.
